SELFIE wins as Word of the Year

The word "selfie" was declared as "Salita ng Taon" by the Filipinas Institute of Translation. It was nominated by Dr. Luna Siclat-Cleto of the University of the Year and beat 12 other words which were part of the culture for year 2013 and 2014.


2nd slot was for the word "endo" which was nominated by Dr. David Michael San Juan and John Michael Briones of Dela Salle University.

3rd slot goes for the word "Filipinas" nominated by professor Dr. Rebecca Anonuevo of Miriam College. 

In a report from GMA News, all nominated words were presented last Friday, September 26, 2014 which was the second day of the three-day Sawikaan Pambansang Kumperensiya sa Wika organized by the FIT.

Selfie was added to the previous "salita ng taon" which included ‘wangwang’ (2012), ‘jejemon’ (2010), ‘miskol’ (2007), ‘lowbat’ (2006), ‘huweteng’ (2005), and ‘canvass’ (2004).
